AMARILLO, Texas (KVII) ? We at ABC 7 lost one of our best today.
Malcolm Montgomery passed away quietly and gently early this morning. He was 27.
Malcolm left this world doing what he most loved ? serving our viewers by putting together the best morning news show he could.
Malcolm will be remembered for being a calm voice in the stressful storm of helping our morning anchors navigate their way through the Daybreak and Midday newscasts.
"He is a hard worker and even better friend," fellow director and one of Malcolm's best friends David Duenes said. "He will always be a part of me and his touch on this world will not be forgotten.
Other ABC 7 employees also weighed in on the impact Malcolm made on their lives on a day-to-day basis.
?He was always so positive all the time,?? reporter Darra Cunningham said.
?I never heard him say anything negative about anyone or anything,? morning anchor Anthony Pittman said as he worked to process the events of the morning.
Those are only two of the many remembrances being heard around the station, and they speak to the kindness, humor and grace of a young man gone far too soon.
